The Dryden Regional Health Centre is welcoming a new physician.
Dr. Kyla Barrie has joined the Dingwall Medical Group Family Health Network and will work full-time at the Clinic and provide Emergency Room coverage at the hospital.
Dr. Barrie graduated from the University of Manitoba and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Her parents moved to Dryden 15 years ago and she wanted to see what it would be like to work in the community.
Dr. Barrie says “I was able to arrange a few electives here as a resident and loved it! I liked the challenge of working in the many areas of medicine so I knew being a rural doctor was right for me. I enjoyed working with everybody at the DRHC and Dingwall Clinic during my electives and was sad when I had to return back to the city. Dryden is a beautiful place to live and work. I can’t ask for more.”
Chief of Staff Dr. Bruce Cook says “We’ve had the opportunity to develop an exceptionally positive and confident relationship with Dr. Barrie over several years and we’re pleased to have her join the Dingwall Medical Clinic. She has been working with us as a learner, medical resident, Locum physician, and now as a full partner in providing care to our community. She’s well-oriented to the services we provide both at the Health Centre and at the Clinic and her commitment to Dryden is inspiring.”
Chair of the Dryden Health Services Foundation, Brad Coles adds “We’re excited to welcome Dr. Kyla Barrie home to Dryden and look forward to the expertise and personalized care she will bring to patients of all ages.”
